just passed with my 3rd take. not in the same situation with regarding the kids. but I know you can do it. What i did is read cover-cover saunders book. I went back to the basic and really brushed up my content. Then everything fell into place. Dont give up, you can do this. You are a future nurse.

Finished the nclex rn with 100 or 101 questions dont really remember. I did the PVT gave me the good pop up. I feel that this is a good sign. and still waiting to do the quick result. i wanna share my experience to all those future nurses. It was my 3rd take in NJ (last take before im required to take refresher course which i dont want.) i was so pressured by this. Im working as a PCA at nights. So i made the most out of it, i study even at work even if im hella sleepy and tired. My first take was beyond horrible, i really dont know where i got my knowledge. My 2nd take i studied using kaplan but did not fully utilized Saunders. My 3rd take, I finished cover-cover Saunders yellow book. and focused on Cardio, Renal, Maternal (im a guy so im really weak at this). and just used Kaplan for QTs, diagnostic test, Readiness and qbank All my qbank i got 60+ to 70s my Diagnostic, QT1-7 and readiness 60%+ for me what really worked for me is reading the saunders book. At work, before i wake up, before i sleep. even im done reading, i would read at it again. Thanks to allnurses and all its contributors for all the advice. I can't wait to do the quick result. God Bless future nurses

Thanks for the input guys. For the people who passed congrats! you all deserved it.

first of all congrats on beating the nclex. thanks for the input thou. I mainly used saunders as my content and i must admit it helped me alot. Hoping for the same result as yours.

hi prettylady87. your word file is excellent. gave me the little push i needed to get back on track. im on my 3rd try on nclex and believing its my last. Thank you for the time and effort sharing your experience! God Bless

congrats! for your second take did u just use kaplan? or you added another review material? Thanks

congratulations! Im also into my 3rd take. It's really difficult to start all over again for the 3rd time but never give up. THank you for sharing your story

my first try on nclex i used saunders and didnt make it. i believe that i didn't practice enough on test taking strategy/critical thinking. i can say saunders really helps on content but thats it. To pass the nclex i believe that you should be at least prepared in regards of critical thinking and saunders. Goodluck on the result :) hope the PVT is wrong

thanks for your reply. how's the questions on prep u? is it nclex type questions? Im im dilemma on using hurst or Kaplan again.

@nursephillyphil thank you for your reply how's the sample questions of hurst? i can say that kaplan's qts and qbanks are near nclex, but video content is poop. i have to admit im weak on content so im reading saunders again. might not take ncsbn because of what you said

i already have saunders 5th ed yellow book plus the saunders q&a book. I plan to get mosbys nclex rn review questions and nclex 4000. my dilemma is choosing either from Hurst review or NCSBN? What would you suggest guys? i already used kaplan on my previous try on nclex so i plan to take another review material Thanks!

give yourself at least a week to relax and gather your thoughts. dont waste anytime. like you i failed and within just days im back to my feet preparing. Dont let the nclex defeat you. God Bless and stay strong!

congrats! nice post you got there. im currently on my 3rd take. wish i get it this time.

hi congrats on passing the nclex i am the same as you but i failed the nclex twice already. used kaplan on demand and saunders on the second take thou. what are your scores on your second take of kaplan? would you suggest me to take another review material or go with saunders and kaplan too. thanks!

God Bless and Good luck. update us on how you do

hello everyone. im on my way to my 3rd nclex rn somewhere early next year. i just took my 2nd this last oct 5. 265 qs and got the cc page. i didnt think about getting the quick result anymore because i know how accurate the trick since i did it in my first time. Preps i did: 1st take Purely SAUNDERS. 75qs notes: i knew i screwed up my 1st take. No critical thinking and everything. i underestimated the exam. so i adjusted on my 2nd take 2nd take Online Kaplan, Saunders for content, PDA La Charity Watched all videos Completed all qbanks with 53% overall grade Got my readiness test at 64% 265qs notes: while i was taking the test, i felt that i was doing MUCH better than my 1st take. took my time. analyzed each answer. I also felt the computer was giving me a fighting chance. so when i did the pearson vue trick and went to cc page, i was so dissapointed, but no more time to cry, i picked myself up the next day and planned my 3rd take Now for my 3rd take i would need help on what resources i can use. i still plan to use saunders because content wise it was superb. i know i still miss some points on this book. any other resources you guys can recommend? Im working so i cant use any on-class review . Some resources i got from a co-worker that recently passed the nclex, he told me to use Mosby's Review Questions for Nclex RN, NCLEX 4000 and Saunders. I did some research and was considering Hurst review. I dont want to use kaplan anymore because i felt that I maximized it already and got how to critically think. Thank you in advance guys. i would want to pass my 3rd time. God Bless
